Q: how to clean my Retina display dirty streaks?

Hello, So I have the 2015 version of the macbook pro retina, its 13 inches. I have had a real problem cleaning the display of this machine and the body. The display gets dirty through using it, and I try and wipe it every night, I wipe the keyboard and the display every night and it always has this streaky look to it. Let me explain the way it looks the best way i can.

The streaky look doesn't show if I push the display backwards and look at the display. By backwards I mean if I open the display to close to the max level that it can open before you feel pressure from opening it too wide. If I open the macbook to the halfway length, the display looks really streaky and when I move in closer to the screen I can see there are streaks, especially when the brightness is up. The streaks look dirty, I would describe it like it looks like its greasy. I recently began trying to clean the display with a tiny bit of water like the apple website says and it still doesn't make the streaky look go away. So I was wondering if anyone here has used iKlear and how it has responded to the retina display? I know theres a coating on the retina display and you shouldn't use products so I am worried about how iKlear might screw up my display.

I don't know if its visible from these pics but here are some pics:

    I just use the microfiber cloth that came with my MacBook Pro. I would recommend following Apples directions for cleaning displays. Cleaning your Apple products - Apple Support

    your pic now really shows the streaks, but i some how understood wacha saying, first of all you don't have to treat the device so carefully like cleaning everyday. Theres nothing shows on the apple site but there do having an ongoing  Apple quality program at my location about the defected Retina display defected clothing and the display can be check thru genius bar, so if you feels like that is a permanent mark on your display you may try to visit the store
